Honestly, after hearing that story, I’m not even mad I didn’t place. If anything, maybe I need to take a writing course. Go listen!!

I’m so glad!! I know there are periods where those rejections seem to accumulate and just hit so hard 🫂

Ok, but he didn’t say I couldn’t make any promises

Alas, no longlist for me; however, I did snag a shoutout. If you want to hear an erotic story involving Greek gods and the Olive Garden, stay tuned for my upcoming “baredevil” episode where @notquitewrite.com will rip my story to shreds as they try to keep a straight face

Congrats!! So exciting!!

At least I think I am

I love that you intuited the gif I was thinking of 😆

Congrats!! Your story was beautiful!

Congrats to an amazing set of winning stories on this round of @notquitewrite.com !! And if you’re feeling disappointed you didn’t make it, go ahead and wallow with me this evening. But come morning, we get up and start plotting our revenge…er, next stories 😉

Love the fact that I’ve never seen this 1991 movie 😆

I don’t want to know but I MUST KNOW!!

A few more hours of imagining I made it onto the @notquitewrite.com shortlist.

Maybe you should release the shortlist earlier so it doesn’t detract from the flesh fiction episode. I’m thinking only of you and not my own selfish desires

Oh no 🤣🤣🍝

I believe this is my third longlist! Will I make that shortlist and give @akscotland.bsky.social the chance to say “I told you so?”

Ok but what about now?

Schroedinger’s cat over here. I have both the best and the worst story

Longlist for the January contest drops!

Also…

I’m attempting to incorporate some of Amanda’s advice. And if it works this year, I will happily tell her she was right and she can tell me “I told you so” on air 😉

Ed should release it now. I need something to listen to while I draft pleadings

That jar though 🤣🤣

It’s still not going to stop me from checking my podcasts app everyday 🤣 Also I should probably prepare an apology before my Baredevil episode

Ed!! We need an episode!!

But Feb 27 is SO FAR AWAY!
